Summary

A taxonomic update is provided for Paracorethrura Melichar, 1915. P. arrhen n. sp. is described from Vietnam and brings up the number of species to two for the genus: P. iocnemis (Jacobi, 1905) being known only by female specimens and P. arrhen only by males, CO1 sequences are provided in order to check if they are truly two different species or if we are witnessing some sexual dimorphism.

Résumé

Paracorethrura Melichar, 1915 (Hemiptera : Lophopidae) : deux espèces distinctes ou dimorphisme sexuel chez une espèce ? La taxonomie de Paracorethrura Melichar, Citation1915, est mise à jour. P. arrhen n. sp. est décrite du Vietnam et amène à deux le nombre d’espèces du genre. P. iocnemis (Jacobi, Citation1905) étant connue seulement par des spécimens femelles et P. arrhen uniquement par des males, les séquences CO1 sont fournies afin de vérifier s’il s’agit vraiment de deux espèces ou si nous sommes en présence de dimorphisme sexuel.
